THE CABALLO MARINO


Similar to an ordinary horse, but of long muzzle, with paws in form of fins and a firm tail [propulsora], similar a fish tail, the Marine Horses live in great amount in the sea in front of the Western Costa of the Big Island of Chiloé. They feed of marine algae, especially of [cochayuyo], for which their greenish yellowish dark color is explained.
Only the Sorcerers could see to the Marine Horses, and for that reason they are who they can take advantage of the services of these beautiful animals.
Is known the Sorcerers have the capacity to fly, either using the Macuñ, or transforming in any type of bird. However the laws of the Witchcraft, prevent them to using these methods in order to arrive to the Caleuche, from which they form an important part of the company. In order to approach the Caleuche only authorized to use the Marine Horses means of transportain.
During the journeys of the submarine of the Caleuche, the Sorcerers take advantage of the opportunity in order to choose Marine Horses of their ligth, to which they place their mark so that the animal remains in permanent form to their service.
When the sorcerer needs to travel in the Marine Horse, approaches to the bank of the sea and singh four special whistles. With the last whistle, the marine Horse always appears faithful and attentive to the called  their master, which approaches to the sorcerer, then he ties with a rope and you the haunches, and  then get on the soft loin of the animal. Then the Marine Horse slips swiftly after the Caleuche, leaving a trail in the surface of the water and being ahead to any another marine creature.
Each sorcerer could have more than one Marine Horse. There are small for personal use, and another so big used to transport complete corteges of 13 Sorcerers.
The marine horses have a short life of only 4 years and when they die become jello, that then is dissolved in the sea.
